Why Rare Tea?

The company was founded in 2004, by Henrietta Lovell (known as the Tea-Lady) to source and supply the world's best tea - direct from farmers and their tea gardens.

From humble beginnings with just a handful of devoted customers, we now collaborate with many of the world finest chefs and restaurateurs.

With the support of our customers - a mixture of chefs and sommeliers, builders, tattoo artists, taxi drivers and duchesses - our small team has been able to grow Rare Tea into a business of some renown.
